Pindborg tumour

(Jens Pindborg, 20th century, Danish pathologist), (also called calcifyinbg epithelial odontogenic tumour), benign but locally invasive epithelial tumour, clinically behaving as an ameloblastoma. Radiographically, it appears as a radiolucent lesion, with sharp or unsharp borders, uni- or multilocular, in 50 - 60% of cases associated with an unerupted tooth. In more advanced cases, scattered intralesional calcifications may be seen, typically located in the vicinity of the unerupted tooth.
